Getting the word out on SARC
I had the opportunity to go on the Brian Thomas show on 55KRC this morning to talk about the School Attacker Response Course. It was a great chance to talk about the program and get the word out. Brian Thomas is as nice in person as he is on the radio (which is to say…

More doing something: School Attacker Response Course
Like many of you, I was deeply moved by the massacre in Newtown, CT. The senseless killing of innocents should do that to anyone with a soul. But I felt more than disbelief and sadness. I felt angry…and then resolved. Angry at those that blamed the tool used rather than the man and the society…

Tech marches on
In the summer of 1990 I was getting ready to head off to my freshman year at Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. Over the summer I got a letter from the school stating that they would be trying a new "integrated curriculum" that fall for a sub-set of the entering freshman class. The concept behind…

My final word (for now)
I've been involved in lots of facebook threads, twitter @replies and bar stool discussions about guns and gun control in the wake of the terrible acts that took place in Aurora, Colorado last Friday morning. The victims, their families and all who were in that theater that night are in my prayers and I truly…
